Fractal of the Day
by Jim Muth

|
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I was quite busy today, trying to get the new Fractal Central closer to usability. As a result, I found almost no time for fractals. With no time to try again, I settled on today's image, which is the first and only scene I investigated. I named the image, which rates only a below-average 3, "Zebra Mandelbrot" after the zebra stripe effect around the edges. Unfortunately, the center is a mass of unresolved chaos. Other coloring options likely would have worked better, but I had no time to try them. The parameter file renders in 15 minutes on a 200mhz Pentium. I leave it to the viewer to decide whether the below-average result would be worth the effort of running the parameter file. For those who decide that the result is not worth the effort, the GIF image file will soon be posted on the WWWeb to: The fractal weather today was colder but sunny and less windy, which made it feel a bit more comfortable. The fractal cats disapproved of the freezing temperatures, and showed their disapproval by sitting with their backs to me, actively ignoring me during the short time I spent with them. And now, I'm tired. It's time to shut down the old fractal shoppe and call it a night. I'll return tomorrow. Until then, take care, and be at peace. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
